weird headtube tightening problem

[idk47]

The only reason I dont bot my foldy is because I like to be able to fold my scooter. If there is a way to bolt it and get it to still fold, by all means, show me.

Will an FSA bearing cage fit a stock steertube and fork?

Why would you care about folding your scooter ?

how do you not know how to lock your foldy?

I do know what a locked foldy is, I just choose not to for portibilitys sake. Another question, how do you get the top nut that holds the bearing cage off? Ive tried pliers but they just slip off.

lol then whats the problem?

Well, I can probably get it unscrewed tomarrow. The maintenence guys in my building are cool and helped me get the top cup unscrewed from my broken fork. My questions are 1) What is the diameter of the top bearing cage? 2) What grease/ lube should I use on my fork threads to make it easier to unscrew next time?

ive heard that 3 in 1 sh!t is good

Ok, now where to find a new bearing cage?

 

[RyanV]

Alright, well I got this taken care of like a month ago. I unscrewed the head tube, put a crap-ton of 3-in-1 oil on the threads for the fork, got some channel locks, and retightend the thing.
